In the past, I’ve thought about entering Dance Advantage’s Top Dance Blog Contest, but never followed through.  In part, my writing is all over the internet.  I’m like a visa card – everywhere you want to be – and, as a result, I’m not able to post here as much as I might like.  The other part is just a total lack of self-confidence.

But, I’m REALLY proud of the rebuild on this website, and, I don’t know, I think it’s time to stick my nose in the contest! So, I’m making a plea to pool all of my readers to this one place, just this once, to ask for your support in voting for me as one of the top dance bloggers of 2013.

Maybe something I wrote has taught you something, or prompted you to think differently about something, or maybe just made you L.O.L a little….

That’s cool. Now, can you do me a little favor?

Getting to the next phase of the competition depends on support from YOU in the form of comments.  So just scroll to the bottom of this here page, and tell me what you love (or hate – whatever) about this blog, preferably by January 20…

We can do it!

And, THANKS!
